Function Point Analysis

Function Point Analysis is a method used to measure the size and complexity of a software project by evaluating its functionalities from the user's perspective. It focuses on quantifying features like data inputs, outputs, inquiries, files, and interfaces, rather than code lines or technical details. This helps estimate the effort, time, and resources needed to develop or maintain software. Essentially, it provides a standardized way to assess software size based on what users can see and interact with, facilitating better planning and comparison across projects.
